Given below the sample code :

import java.util.NavigableMap;
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentSkipListMap;
public class CheckSize {
public static void main(String... args) {
NavigableMap <Integer, String>nM = new ConcurrentSkipListMap<Integer, String>();
nM.put(4, "Wednesday");
nM.put(5, "Thursday");
nM.put(6, "Friday");
nM.put(1, "Sunday");
nM.put(2, "Monday");
nM.put(3, "Tuesday");
nM.pollFirstEntry();
nM.pollLastEntry();
nM.pollFirstEntry();
nM.pollLastEntry();
System.out.println(nM.size());
}
}

What will be the output of the above code ?
